Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

South AfricaWe had a flat tire on the way there! ;)
The Cedwerberg is unique - and this is a wonderful place to stay if you don't want to cook all the time. Great dinner and breakfast. The surrounds are absolutely beautiful.

South AfricaNothing, everything was top notch!
We loved everything about Mount Ceder. We received a very warm welcome; everybody who attended to us during our stay were super-friendly and so accommodating. Our cottage offered everything it promised and was very well-equipped. The wonderful silence and the star-filled nights were unexpected treasures. We'll definitely visit Mount Ceder again, thank you!

South AfricaWe didn’t stay close to each other, and we could have stayed 3 people in one house. The single lady were not happy to stay so far away from us. We were driving a-lot between 3 houses. Did not know we will stay in Eco houses. Gravel road not nice.

NetherlandsNot much… maybe the shower / bathroom, but I am really searching for something now. The meals are a bit heavy, don’t expect light salads, but that’s not the norm across SA anyway.
Truely special location, at an Olive Farm in a valley. Some things that make Mount Ceder stand out: the location, with beautiful sunsets and sunrises, highly recommended hikes nearby including the waterfall hike, and comfortable cottages with lots of space and all facilities you might need for braai or a self-catered stay. We opted to have breakfast and dinner at the restaurant, which was excellent, and wonderful staff.

South AfricaThe only negative was that the jacuzzi didn’t get warm enough to really enjoy it, but I think that may have been a product of load shedding.
The most unbelievable, peaceful setting. We stayed in the cabin on top of the hill, Klipbokkop. It was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed. There was a generator during load shedding, an indoor fireplace, a stunning wrap around verandah, aircon and fully equipped kitchen. The main reception has a lovely restaurant and the staff were fabulous.

South AfricaThe gas geyser for the shower in the cottage didn't work properly resulting in either too hot or too cold water. Could do with some cupboard space.
Comfortable well equipped cottage with lovely views across the valley to the olive orchards. Visit to the waterfall was well worth the walk. Nice external and internal braai facilities.
